Transfer Policy

We accept courses that are comparable to the courses taught in our curriculum that are completed with a grade of “C” or higher. Liberty does not accept remedial courses (usually below 100 level) or those courses that are on the Pass/Fail scale. We also do not accept Professional Development, Orientation/Student Success courses, Special Topics, Seminars, or Internships. Please direct any questions about a particular course to the Registrar’s Office.

If direct transfer credit has been previously awarded, Liberty University is not able to award duplicate direct transfer credit. Any duplicate direct transfer credit will instead be awarded elective credit, with the exception of sports activity courses and private lesson music courses.

For an online science course that includes both the lecture and lab, the course will transfer as an elective or just the lecture portion, depending on the course.

If you are planning to take an online science course at a North Carolina community college, please call or email lutransfer@liberty.edu before registering.
